The room fell silent for a moment, and no one spoke.
Because it's impossible to predict whether something else will fly over.
Jane is going crazy! Good heavens, are they unable to get rid of that thing?
It was terrifying. He almost wanted to cling to Mingzhuo's leg and beg her to stay.
As expected, there was a reason why He Wangyao clung to Mingzhuo; only Mingzhuo could give everyone confidence and a sense of security.
“He won’t be coming back,” Mingzhuo said calmly, glancing at the rain outside the window.
After she finished speaking, she took out her phone and asked as she unlocked it, "How do I call the police?"
When asked, the disciple hurriedly gave out the phone number. As Taoist priests, they inevitably had to deal with the police when dealing with supernatural phenomena. Master Xuanmiao had a decent status in Xiangshi and had good relationships with some police officers. The disciple gave out the police officer's phone number.
The call was answered quickly. What could Master Xuanmiao say? He could only quickly greet the other end and ask for help.
Mingzhuo continued, "Yes, I suspect there might be a murder in the rental villa area of Dakang Village. The murderer is a man, and reviewing the nearby surveillance footage should be able to capture his appearance..."
They didn't ask why, clearly used to this kind of thing, and quickly made arrangements.
Mingzhuo thought for a moment, then said to Jian Ge, "Are you familiar with the media or marketing companies here? I don't want the reward for that guy surnamed Jiang. Let's use it to offer a reward for the criminal."
Seeing that Jian was in a daze, she added, "We can offer 500,000 for information on his whereabouts and 100,000 for clues. We need to leverage the power of the masses to make him nowhere to hide. Of course, the masses don't need to contact him; they just need to be warned that this person is dangerous."
“That’s no problem, the police will also offer a reward.” After a pause, Master Xuanmiao asked again, “How do you know the other party’s exact location?”
Mingzhuo: "Oh, didn't he just want to have a talk? Of course, he has to pay me to talk to me."
If the other party can monitor this villa by following the gaze of crows and sparrows, wouldn't she also track him in the opposite direction and put something near him?
Master Xuanmiao: "..."
That's truly the thinking of a master; he was only focused on being wary of what tricks the other party might have up their sleeve, without ever thinking about retaliating.
Of course, the main reason is that they lack the ability to fight back and can only passively defend, and not even defend very well.
He Wangyao: "Then what about the reward for clues..."
Mingzhuo said calmly, "Oh, they're not idiots over there. The police will come up empty-handed this time. But it's okay, they'll soon find out that this is an information society."
Li Wenhe understood and said calmly, "In that case, I'll add 500,000."
He Wangyao thought for a moment, "I'll also add 500,000 to the bounty, but I have a suggestion that allows more people to receive the bounty, as long as they provide useful clues."
This way, everyone can earn some pocket money easily without taking any risks.
I'm sure many people would be willing to do it.
How could the other party possibly dare to cause trouble in the bustling city center and devour other people's souls? That's definitely not allowed.
After understanding what was happening, Master Xuanmiao looked at Mingzhuo with great respect: "You are truly farsighted and dedicated to protecting the safety of the people! How about this, I'll add another 500,000!"
His disciples: "..."
Master, have you been brainwashed?
However, they were all used to it. Master Xuanmiao's skills were certainly not among the top in Xiangshi, but he was very popular with the people.
Unlike the Chiang family line, he doesn't only serve the wealthy; he's also willing to take on jobs from ordinary people, and sometimes he's even willing to voluntarily reduce or waive fees for those with poor conditions.
If it weren't for the Seven Killings Formation being truly powerful, and Master Qinglian's constant business introductions, he would probably have fallen on hard times long ago.
Mingzhuo said happily, "Daoist Master, you are a good person too! I have high hopes for you!"
The maid led Gu Xu in. He had been delayed by work and noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered the villa.
The servants below all looked shaken, as if something serious had happened.
However, once he entered the living room, he felt relieved. Mingzhuo was still able to chat and laugh, so everything was fine.
He looked Mingzhuo up and down for a few moments. "Are you alright?"
“What could possibly happen to me? The ones who should be in trouble are the other people,” Mingzhuo said.
Gu Xu: "I think I just heard that we're going to offer a reward for criminals. How about I contribute a million as a small token of my appreciation?"
Mingzhuo was naturally delighted that the reward had increased again. Great! This would encourage more people to provide clues, bringing them one step closer to the other party's demise.
"Ah Xu, you're such a kind person!" She couldn't help but pat the other person on the shoulder, her face beaming with a smile. "The people thank you!"
Gu Xu felt somewhat helpless; this praise was no different from the one he had just given to that famous Taoist priest.
He asked Mingzhuo, "I've already arranged the hotel. Can we leave now?"
"Ah, Master, are you leaving already?" Brother Jian's heart tightened immediately.
Mingzhuo glanced at him. "Don't be afraid, it's safe here. If you're still worried, just have a few Taoist priests perform an exorcism ritual."
In fact, she felt that the execution ground was unnecessary. After she used that sword in the end, she estimated that no evil spirits within a radius of several kilometers would dare to approach.
Li Wenhe: "I have some amulets here. I'll give one to each of you later."
Brother Jian was overjoyed: "Really? That's wonderful! Thank you so much, young Taoist priest! We'll pay you!"
Mingzhao: "..."
Those amulets were actually made by Li Wenhe; they were just for psychological comfort, and they were just right for the moment.
Mingzhuo actually wanted to visit Dakang Village, since the other party had stayed there for a while and would have left some traces.
But bringing Gu Xu along would be very inappropriate. No matter what traces there were, once Gu Xu left, they would probably be completely gone.
It rained tonight, and the rain gradually intensified, making it easier for people to conceal their whereabouts.
Before she could even voice her thoughts, several more cars pulled up outside.
The disciples of Master Xuanmiao were somewhat surprised; tonight was quite lively, with several more luxury cars arriving.
Just as everyone was speculating about who had arrived, the car door opened and Xu Shanglou stepped out.
"bald."
"Brother-in-law!"
——
Xu Shanglou never expected that Mingzhuo would send someone to bring him a talisman, yet travel all the way to Xiangshi.
He's been very busy these days, and he's leaving get off work early today, having not even had dinner.
However, upon hearing that Ming Zhuo wanted to visit Dakang Village, he immediately agreed.
Then he asked his assistant, He, to buy him a sandwich for dinner.
The driver in the front seat was an elderly member of the Xu family who had been driving for the Xu residence for many years.
Seeing this, I couldn't help but feel a little shocked. The young master came from a wealthy family and was always particular about his food, clothing and daily necessities. This was the first time he had ever humbled himself like this for a young girl.
It seems that the one in that distant Cloud Mist City is really favored.
Master Xuanmiao also followed. He couldn't ignore the fact that the other party was committing crimes and harming people in Xiangshi.
Police have arrived and cordoned off the scene. This area is called a villa district, but it's just that the houses are built better; the property management is actually quite poor.
